MINISTER p HELPS.

Among the speeches made at Stafford
on-Avou on the occasion of the recent
presentation of the Shakespeare memorial
fountain, the gift Of George W. Childs, of
Philadelphia, was one by Mr.. Phelps, the
present minister of the United States to
England, in which he said
The universal loyalty to their queen
and their country was the chief lesson
and the most significant of the jubilee
period. Americans who were loyal to
their own government could understand
the loyalty Of the English people.
This utterance by Minister Phelps ex-
cites the woDder of the editor of The Port
land Oregonian, who, like Phelps, is a
Vermonter, and is familiar with Mr..
Phelps's past history The Portland ed
itor says:
It Is a little singular that Minister
Phelps, who is charmed by the spectacle
of the universal loyalty of the English
people to their queen and their country,
should have been distinguished for dis
loyalty to his government and country
when it was in danger, so far As his speech
and written sentiments could be made to
express disloyalty. He called Lincoln in
speech and print the foulest names; he
sneered at the Union cause in public and
private; he was cheerful when bis own
section was bowed down in grief over de-
feat; he was gloomy when Vicksburg fell;
he looked as if he bad lost darling boy
when Lee surrendered. In other words,
the nations jubilee over the final triumph
of the armies of the Union was no jubilee
for him; it was signal to hold lodge
of sorrow. He found no lesson of loyalty
in our jubilee that comforted his soul;
but when he goes across the water and
witnesses England's jubilee he immedi-
ately is struck with admiration for the
loyalty of people to flag that is not his
own. For that splendid spectacle of a
loyal Union starting to its feet at the
sound of the shot at our flag he had no
cheers; only sullen speech and frowning
face; for the loyalty that endured four
years of battle he had nothing but sneers;
for the loyal dead he bad no tears; for
the loyal cheers that greeted the news of
the final surrender he had nothing but
words of contempt. And this is the man
that is overpowered by the universal 10y
atty of England to its queen and flag.
There is reason to fear that Mr.. Phelps,

The ELECTIONS YESTERDAY,

In the state elections yesterday the Re
publicans carry Ohio, Pennsylvania
Rhode Island, Massachusetts,, Iowa and
Nebraska The Democrats secure New
York, Col. Grant, Republican candidate
for secretary Of state being defeated by
Cook, Democrat, by 10000 majority. The
New York Republicans continue to hold
control of the legislature. The George
vote became an insign ficant factor in the
state amounting to only &c, 900, while the
Prohibition vote increased which accounts
for Republican defeat In Ohio the Presi-
dent Cleveland "snub" to Gov Foraker
helped the Republican ticket about l., 900
votes, Foraker's majority yesterday being
10000 against 49, 900 two years ago. The
return of Rhode Island to the Republican
fold is gratifying result of yesterday.
This secures the Republicans majority
of the states and becomes very important
in case the choice for President next year
should be thrown into the House Of Re
personalities.
